Recently the Seniors Sleep bill (HR 4695) gained two new cosponsors: Representative Scott Peters (D-CA) and U.S. Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD). The AASM thanks members Drs. Bart Sangal and Brian Bohner for requesting the Representatives to cosponsor the legislation. Their success shows that Members of Congress are most responsive to requests that they receive from their own constituents.
Now it is time for you to get involved by joining the Seniors Sleep Pledge. Recently the Pledge helped 13 members submit letters to their Representatives: Vineet Arora,MD; Michael W. Calik, Ph.D.; Tereza Cervenka, MD; Ronald D. Chervin, MD; Gonzalo A. Diaz, MD; Christine S. Fukui, MD; Seema Khosla, MD; David C. Kuhlmann, MD; Debra J. Mayer, RRT-LRT; Edward Mezerhane, MD; Kenneth A. Mogell, DMD and Zeyad Morcos, MD. Join your colleagues who recognize the success of the bill depends on the engagement of all AASM members in garnering the bipartisan support of our elected officials.
